When I hold my right hand over my heart to salute that red, white and blue piece of cloth, I am also honoring the past, present and future members of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard and National Guard which include my late husband, brothers, nephew and cousins. One Of The Humans

As American women were picketing pro-life CURA offices which offer medical services and pregnancy counseling, a second unit of Yasidi women was deployed to Raqqa, Syria (capital of the Caliphate) for the purpose of taking down the remaining elements of ISIS. They just did. Quite a difference in priorities. Mark Furlong

Trump’s the president that’s all fine and good and I wish everybody would stop just complaining about it endlessly. What really worries me is that the conservatives have not yet scraped the bottom of the barrel insofar as candidates and ideas and it really worries me for the future of the Republican Party. Albatross

Now the senators say that payments will go to the consumers not the insurance companies. So let’s see how many get discriminated against when they don’t qualify for those payments or when they don’t get the payments. This government all they do is lie and try to trick the American people when the American people know exactly what the government is up to, and that’s sad.

To the person who put in that Trump has cut FEMA personnel and he has cut funding to FEMA by 50 percent, where do you get your figures from and what kind of failures is FEMA doing? I don’t understand any of this nonsense. Where do you people get this stuff?

Recently a Christian man told me everyone being helped by the government is obese and it is so that the food stamps program is being cut back, and Congressman Ryan Costello being asked about this has no clue what’s going on. Bruce Madara

We will never change the mindset of some of the people who are diehard supporters of Donald Trump. They have come out of the saddles and now feel emboldened to display the way they’ve been indoctrinated to feel. We are not born to hate. We are taught to hate and our children are going to be a troubling side effect of this administration. KM

To all you people who keep calling in saying Trump is better than the president we had for the past eight years, there’s simply no truth to that. Now you’re talking fake news.

This is for all you guys that are flying around Daniel Boone Homestead in your pretty pick up trucks like that brandnew white one that blew by me easily doing 70 mph in a 40 mph zone the other morning as I was walking my dog. When you hit a deer and wreck your truck you’ll be the biggest baby crying. Maybe you should slow down and drive carefully.

If I had some contact with the government and others in the leadership of the country I would like to tell the blacks and whites alike they are all acting like a bunch of little children picking every word apart that’s said or done instead of backing our president and getting things that are important done to help make America great again. I have people telling me they quit listening to the news for this very reason. Just reminds me what God has to say about it all. Tired Of It All

This is to JCS. You said about the players disrespecting the flag. No they’re not disrespecting the flag, they’re making a peaceful protest. It’s called the Constitution and if you don’t like it move to North Korea.

Uninformed people should keep your mouth shut. First of all Trump did call the Gold Star family. That’s why the person in the cowboy hat lied about his sincerity. Second Gen. Kelly himself said Obama who was his commander in chief did not call him and it wasn’t anything against Obama for not calling. So Obama did not call every family. Your hate for our president is disgusting.

I would like to let Dr. Mike at 625 North Charlotte St. in Pottstown in the dentistry office to let him know that there’s a big shout out going his way. The other day he took my grandson without an appointment and within an hour he was pain free and everybody went home happy. There are not many people like that anymore left in this world so thank you so much Dr. Mike for taking my grandson in and thank you to his whole staff.
